Second time's the charm?

So I'm trying again.

Cigarettes to me are like a lover that I know is bad for me but who I am morbidly drawn to (perhaps more because I know I shouldn't). I do think there's something more than nicotine that I'm dependent on. Heck, last time I tried to quit by vaping I nicOD'd and wanted a cigarette WHILE I was shaking and ready to vomit. However, last time I tried I did get down to about 2-3 smokes a day. If I had stuck to it I'm sure I could've quit.
This time I know a lot more about what I'm doing. I know what nic levels I work with best and my limits. I know what kind of flavors I prefer. This can only be a good thing.
I'm going through some personal issues and I feel the spiral of depression around me. Perhaps a low dosage anti-depressant will help with the state I'm in as well as the withdrawal. One can hope.

Good luck with your second try! I'm a 25+ year "smoker no more". I smoked my last analogue cigarette on January 20, 2011. That makes it 19 days for me!

Once I received my PV, I knew that there was NO WAY I could mix smoking and vaping. I've tried to quit via other methods too many times. So far, so good. This method seems to be working because it gives me the behavioral activities I love so much... Something to hold in my hand, etc.

Interestingly, the last time I was at my Gynecologist he offered to give me Xanax when I was attempting to quit via the patch. Don't let the spiral of depression get you. Do what you need to do to feel good!
